ive seenem at circuit city! for 200 bucks

yes, it is possible, but why!?!?! Its already got 8 pixel pipelines and can kick the 9800xt hands down into hell!!!

It cant kick the 9800XT...what the hell are you thinking? I have a 9500Pro on the way. Should be here tomm :D How can I soft mod it...and what exactly does that mean??? Is there like a program that i can get to make it a 9700Pro?

Well I have a 9500Pro with 8 pipelines..so that doesnt really apply to me does it?

[abu_has_the_power]

dude. just buy a 9700 pro. not that expensive

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yeah its only like $30more! I just bought my 9500Pro so dont be telling me something else to buy...even tho its only 30 bux more..hmm i had no idea it was that cheap. Oh well I will be very happy with my 9500Pro :D

Hmmm It is only $30 more. Do you think that the 9700Pro is alot better then the 9500Pro? Will it last me much longer then the 9500Pro?

Is the diff worth the $30? Im sure it will last longer so I think it might be. I just dont want to wait like 10 more days to get my computer going! I dont want to have to return the 9500Pro and buy the 9700Pro...I want some time to play BF1942 over xmas damnit!

What about this 9800SE :o Its cheaper then the 9500Pro and it RUNS at 9800PRO speeds....whats up with that?? 9800SE that runs at 9800Pro speeds (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-131-233&depa=1§ion=1)
EDIT!!!!!!!!!!! I just saw that it says Quad Pipeline on the box...I guess it just has 4 Pipelines then. So forget the 9800.

What about the 9700Pro though...worth the extra $30? And could I play with the 9500 then when i get the 9700Pro send it back..or would they notice?

lol ur having 2nd thoughts about ur card NOW that u bought it? tsk tsk

look... bf1942 runs on my card..... of COURSE your 9500 pro run it.... and the card will last you enuff.....

[bigdawgfoxx]

Well I could always take it back. Saying i have a 9700Pro sounds so much better then the 9500 Pro lolol. I duno Im sure it will run bf1942 FINE but the 9700Pro runs at 50Mhz faster clock and 80Mhz faster Memory so I figured it would last alot longer

Big dawg, if you are referring to this (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-246&depa=1) then that is a little better than the 9700 pro, but it costs 50 bucks more. The 9500 pro should do you just fine unless you really have fifty bucks to spare

[bigdawgfoxx]

Alright thanks. I just installed BF1942 and Desert combat onto my old computer (the one im on) cuz I wanted to compare how shitty it looked.

It will load the game but once I start loading up a campaign or something it just goes back to the desktop and shuts off the game. Any ideas?
